Dividend stocks are the kind of investments that fit my investment style. There is something reassuring about those quarterly checks padding my portfolio that are completely independent of a stock's share price, and reinvesting dividends over decades is probably one of the most powerful tools we as individual investors have for building wealth Opens a New Window. To be an effective dividend stock investor, you have to buy companies you can hold for a long time and reasonably expect them to increase payouts.
It's even better when you can buy them at a time when they have high yields. That's why three stocks -- integrated oil and gas giant Total (NYSE: TOT), nitrogen fertilizer manufacturer Terra Nitrogen Partners (NYSE: TNH), and telecommunications giant Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) -- are high on my list of dividend stocks I would buy.
